14400 S 1690 W Intersection Layout Plan

14600 S to Redwood Connection

The City studied 8 possible alternatives using a sophisticated computer program that simulates traffic with normal driver behaviors.

The City selected the alternative to connect 14600 South directly to Redwood Road and place a high tee intersection at Redwood Road. to reduce congestion and improve the safety at 14400 South and Redwood Road and 14600 South.

The City has received a preliminary approval from UDOT to place a new high-tee intersection on Redwood Road for 14600 South.

Road Plans are being prepared by the developer to complete construction.

The City thinks that this project will be completed by next year or sooner.

Porter Rockwell Blvd. (PRB) Project

There are 5 planned segments. Segments 1, 2 and 3 are completed. The ribbon cutting for segment 3 was on Wednesday, July 26th. See maps for project details. Segment 5 is in the planning stages next. Currently, the projected completion date is in 2021.

Segment 4

Completed the site survey

Geotechnical engineer work on site exploration

Working on the horizontal and vertical alignment

. Segment 5

Completed the pre-construction meeting last week

The contractor will be ready to mobilize later in the summer and work on both Redwood Road and PRB

The City is finishing the detention pond design

Segment 5 will begin mid July

​14600 South Construction Trestle Area

Sunday, June 11, 2017 a contractor (Beck Construction) working for UDOT rebuilt a portion of 14600 South. This was next to the rail road bridge (trestle) where faults/deep creeps had developed in the asphalt along a portion of the road next to the steep embankment that is over 4 homes in Springview Farms.

The contractor excavated at least 5 feet of road uncovering a bit of history as defined by the layers of pavement that were uncovered. The excavation was not as deep as the flowline of the Salt Lake City Canal that is on the east side on the road. The contractor uncovered several layers of pavement including a concrete slab, base course and an old asphalt concrete surface that was disintegrating at the bottom of the five foot excavation. The asphalt concrete could have been placed in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

The material excavated had some moisture but not sufficient to cause concern. The contractor repaired the road by placing a layer of cobble rocks of various depth (2ft-5ft) of 4-inch minus rocks covered by geotextile fabric covered by 8-inch of untreated base and eventual new 6-inch of asphalt pavement.

The patch extended for 40 feet from about the center of the road to the edge. This is a temporary fix to provide better protection. UDOT and the City plan on meeting to discuss the possible options for better studying the area and provide a permanent solution.

On 2/14/18 engineers went to measure slope movements in the inclinometer and record water levels in the adjacent piezometers. The inclinometer data that we collected was pretty similar (within about 0.1 inches) to the initial readings taken on October 12, 2017. Thus, we are not detecting significant slope movement that has occurred since October 12, 2017. Visually, there is a little bit of pavement distress/cracking (<~0.5" wide) where the road was repaired. Perhaps this is due to settlement within the fill placed as part of the repair and/or minor slope movements that are too small for our instrument to pick up.

Water levels were also roughly the same as the last time they were measured (11/15/2017). The shallow inclinometer (19 ft) had just a tiny bit of water in the bottom that was probably the result of water settling in the endcap. The deep inclinometer (~60 ft) had water at 33 ft deep, which correlates roughly to the elevation of the bottom of the steep slope.

In summary, our instrumentation hasn't picked up anything significant since we installed it. As I've been saying all along, it will be interesting to see if water levels change significantly in the shallow piezo when they start filling the canal, and if these changes result in some detectable slope movement.

Water Projects

2017 Waterline Improvements Project

This project was part of the City’s ongoing plan to increase the level of service in areas identified within the Drinking Water Master Plan. This phase of improvements targets areas within the City that have undersized and older waterlines. The improvements include increasing the size of the waterlines, adding additional Fire Hydrants and installing new water service connections. The improvements will improve fire protection, increase water capacity and improve the level of service in the areas surrounding the improvements.

Construction was in the following areas:

Pheasant Hollow Lane including the connection to 3200 West

Country Classic Drive including the connection to 14400 South and 2700 West

East end of 14600 east of 3200 West and the North end of Ten Sleep Circle

Porter Rockwell Monument is currently located off 14600 and Pony Express-across from the park and ride station. A committee has been organized to discuss moving the monument to a location that will be more visible and accessible. Click here for a complete history of memorial
